SECURING SOIL HEALTH: LEVERAGING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY FOR RELIABLE SOIL SAMPLING & TESTING

Abstract

For efficient land management and harvesting, reliable soil testing and sampling is an essential component of agricultural techniques. The accuracy of soil data is at risk, though, due to problems like farmers using the same names and the frequency of inaccurate test results. Soil sampling and testing procedures may be made more secure and trustworthy with the use of blockchain technology, which is discussed in this study. Our proposed decentralized solution makes use of blockchain technology to avoid mistakes associated with shared names while also guaranteeing transparent record-keeping, immutable data verification, and safe farmer identification. Not only does our method ensure that soil test findings are genuine, but it also helps to build confidence among those involved in agriculture. Our case study illustrates how this technology may be put into reality and how it could transform soil management techniques. This, in turn, can lead to more sustainable agricultural results.
